Question

I want to update one column which is an INT with a NULL value. I’m using CakePHP 2.3 with the saveField(‘field’, ‘value’) method.

Here is my code :

$this->Customer->id = $customer_id;
if ($this->Customer->saveField('account_id', 'NULL')) {
     //Do some stuff
}

So when I put ‘NULL’, the row is updated to 0. I tried NULL without quotes and the row is not updated.

EDIT :
The field in the db accepts NULL value.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

Do not pass 'NULL' as a string but as null value:

if($this->Customer->saveField('account_id', null))
{
  //do some stuff
}
else
{
  //do you get anything here ?
  debug($this->Customer->validationErrors);
}
